Freezer Tables, also known as under-counter freezers, are compact freezing units that can be installed under a worktop or as a standalone unit in professional kitchens for restaurants, cafés and HoReCa businesses. A Freezer Table combines two advantages — efficient freezing (down to -18°C and below) with a work surface on top, providing additional preparation space without wasting room. Products can be stored close to the direct work zone, speeding up the production process and reducing movement in the kitchen. BHS offers Freezer Tables as part of the Cold Equipment range.
The BHS range includes Freezer Tables with 1, 2 and 3-door configurations, in various capacities and with GN compatible internal dimensions. We help you choose the right model based on your kitchen layout and storage needs. Also explore other Cold Equipment.
A Freezer Table is the ideal solution for professional kitchens with limited space — it combines freezing and a work surface in one compact unit. Traditional upright freezers take up more space and require a separate work surface nearby, but a Freezer Table optimally uses the kitchen’s square footage. BHS offers Freezer Tables to HoReCa businesses across Europe.
Types and configurations of Freezer Tables
Single-door Freezer Table — a compact model with a small capacity (80–120 litres), suitable for small kitchens or as additional freezing for a specific work zone. Two-door Freezer Table — a medium-capacity model (160–240 litres), the standard for most HoReCa kitchens. Often used in pizza bars, burger restaurants and hot food sections. Three-door Freezer Table — a larger-capacity model (240–350 litres) for active freezing needs. Drawer Freezer Tables — freezing sections in drawer form, allowing installation under a grill or fryer. Ideal for burger and fast-food kitchens. Freezer Table with worktop — a standard Freezer Table with a steel work surface above the freezing section. BHS helps you choose the right configuration.
Temperature and HACCP compliance
A Freezer Table maintains a temperature of -10°C to -22°C depending on the model — for most food products, -18°C is sufficient. Meat and fish freezing usually requires -18°C or lower. For ice cream storage, -20°C or lower is better to preserve texture. HACCP requires regular temperature monitoring and recording — a Freezer Table with a built-in temperature display makes this control easier. Temperature exceedance alarms are a key HACCP safety feature. Regular defrosting (automatic or manual) ensures efficient equipment operation. BHS helps you choose HACCP compliant equipment.
HoReCa usage scenarios
In a burger restaurant, a two-door Freezer Table under the grill ensures that frozen burger patties are within direct reach of the grill operator — fewer movements, faster service. In a pizza restaurant, a drawer Freezer Table under the pizza work surface keeps frozen pizza ingredients (cheese, meat toppings) within direct assembly distance. In a patisserie, a Freezer Table for frozen items stores frozen fillings and semi-finished products close to the decorating zone. In a catering business, a Freezer Table ensures frozen product storage in the event preparation zone.
Frequently asked questions
What height Freezer Table matches a standard kitchen worktop? The standard Freezer Table height is 85–90 cm, which matches the standard kitchen work surface height (85–90 cm). Adjustable legs allow height adjustment by ±3 cm. BHS helps verify size compatibility with your specific kitchen configuration.
Is a Freezer Table suitable for meat storage? Yes — a Freezer Table with a temperature of -18°C is suitable for raw meat freezing. It is important to ensure that meat is stored in airtight packaging and not in contact with other products (cross-contamination). BHS advises on meat storage HACCP requirements.
Maintenance and energy efficiency
A Freezer Table must be disinfected regularly inside and out — dust on the condenser radiator reduces cooling efficiency and increases energy consumption. It is recommended to vacuum the condenser radiator once a quarter. Door seals must be in good condition — damaged seals allow cold air to escape, increasing the compressor load. Regular defrosting (automatic or manual) is necessary to maintain efficient cooling capacity. When installing the unit, ensure adequate air circulation around the condenser — at least 10–15 cm from the wall. BHS helps ensure equipment longevity with proper maintenance.
